Offline multi-city International public transport app? - Young ethnic man in earbuds listening to music while waiting for transport at contemporary subway station

Some years ago, before Android and iOS, I used to have a map for Windows phone (and web) that allowed you to download per-city packs of subway information that included schedules and connection information for cities around the world.

You were able to enter two stations, one to start and one to go to and it would plot you all possible subway connections between the two points.

I have been looking quite a lot now on the internet and the Android app store for something like this, bought even a couple and refunded them. Most of them simply are a collection of maps where you have to trace the route yourself instead of having a real "navigation" for subways.

As far as I remember the application I used to have was called "Metro". It was not open-source IIRC but the data was provided by the users. Anyone remember this? Does it or something similar exist?

Ha! I finally found it! The app is not in the Android App store, but it works fine. The software is called "Metro" as I remembered, it's offline and works quite nicely with 400 cities.

I tried out the Melbourne aspect of it, since our apps are notriously poor, and so far I'm quite impressed...
